I'm in a position where I can choose to go to the office if I want to or not. Most of the time I much prefer working from home, this has definitely an effect on being able to become friends with my coworkers (which, in any case, almost none of them go to the office anyway). I have also recently moved to a different country, so in reality, I don't have many friends here to begin with. Luckily for me, I've never really felt the need as I am pretty active online anyway and never have a moment where I'm not chatting with someone or have someone to chat with. IRL I meet with friends once a week, once every two weeks for some beers and other related activities. It's enough for me. I think, if you can't get the social interaction you need from work then it might be worth looking into any sort of social clubs and whatnot that you could take on during the weekend. Photography, painting, whatever you fancy there are sure to be clubs in your city :)
